    5 Linebackers to Watch Entering the 2023 Season

    While it is easy to try and forget a season riddled with injuries, bad play across the offense, and coaching instability, the defense was one of the few bright spots. One of the shining areas within the Colt’s defense was the linebacking core as their top two tacklers were linebackers. LB Bobby Okereke was second…
